Sherie bought a beach towel that normally costs $44 but was on sale for half price. She also bought a beach hat that was on sale for $12 off. Before tax, her total cost was $38. What was the regular price of the beach hat?

Ok from that we will get the equation $22+(x−12)=38$, so we must solve this equation
$22+x−12=38$

Simplify
$22+x−12=38$
$22+x+−12=38$

Combine like terms
$(x)+(22+−12)=38$
$x+10=38$

-10 to both sides
$x+10−10=38−10$
$\bf\ x=?$
